If they can plan it for sometime other than the first two weeks of July, I could try to go in 2015. The first two weeks of July are reserved for my family, and I doubt they would appreciate me taking off for this event.

Glad you're having such a fun time.

Another highlight of the trip was a visit to the Ingalls Homestead. It is the actual land that the Ingalls lived on and it is now a place where you can visit to see so many different things that are in the books. You can see a sod house, a claim shanty, a schoolhouse, church and barns. We travelled by horse and wagon from the barn to the schoolhouse. Barnum and Skip were our trusted transportation.

The Loftus Store is still open, likely the oldest business in DS. It is the place to go for different, hard to find LHOP collectables.

I had fun peeking out of the slough grass.

Oh, sooo many memories.
We saw the pagents in both WG and DS.
Dean Butler showed us his documentary at Laurapalooza called "Pa's Fiddle". You can watch it on PBS and you can buy it at the gift store in WG. It was a great production and was great to hear some of the songs performed that Laura included in the books. For those interested, you can FINALLY buy the Laura documentary that Dean produced a few years ago. It will soon be available at the WG giftstore. Be sure to pick one up, I did and I just love it!!
If I can think of any other menories or get any more interesting pics from my travel buddies, I'll add them here. I highly recommend that you all make plans to be apart of Laurapalooza 2015, don't miss out on a fun time.

Did you happen to see the beautiful replicas of the Little House fans made at the store?

I saw one in the DVD for Walnut Grove, such detail and love went into them. They said they don't sell them but put them on display.

We know who your are. Wink

Thanks for the photos. Sounds like tons of fun. I will see all of it one day. I will be old and need thick glasses, but I will go!
